Updating the Berlin 'Terror' Attack

I essayed the bulk of the story yesterday....basically a migrant guy (from Iraq) who is generally judged by peers (long before yesterday) as a 'nutcase'.

So, some relative facts to the case (from Focus):

1.  Once cornered on the autobahn (after injuring six folks).....he pulls out a metal case of some type and yells at the police approaching that it's a 'bomb'. For whatever reason, the initial cop on the scene is Arabic, and seems to quickly assessed 'no, it's not a bomb', and took the guy down.  In the moments that the guy put the case on top of the car.....he put out a prayer rug and started a prayer there on the autobahn.

2.  Originally, the guy made his way in the summer of 2015 to Finland.  No reason given for that selection.  He applied for asylum....stays there for about six to twelve months....then relocates to Germany.  No indication that the Finns granted asylum.

Failed asylum application in Germany?  Yes....although nothing is discussed over this, or why he remained in Germany.
